Patterson Drug Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Patterson Drug Co (store no. 6), 8-10 E Main Street corner Walnut Street, Martinsville VA 1
  Patterson Drug Co (store no. 8), 2 E Main Street, Martinsville VA 1

Notes:
The manager of the Patterson Drug Company in was Elbert R. Rush. In 1959, a second store was opened, that one managed by Earl D. Mann1.
One of the artifacts below is dated from 1947, so the first store must have started on or before that year. The stores were both still around in 1960, but I don't have access to phone books after that year, so I don't know how long they lasted.

The Patterson Drug Co in Martinsville VA was part of a chain of drugstores that started in Lynchburg VA. For information about the chain, see The Patterson Drug Co, Inc in Lynchburg VA.

Other Items
patterson_02 This is a cardboard box. The red stripe that says "PATTERSON DRUG CO" on this item is very similar to the one on the label above, so I'm guessing that it was part of the same Patterson's drug co chain. It says:
Prescriptionists / Store No 6 / ... MARTINSVILLE, VA. ... 6-14-47 ...
